Material Studies:

Material Studies Sampler (9 Patch)

Tara Donovan

So much about the artmaking process is about

paying attention. Its about
looking and noticing things.

Tom Friedman

I like the connection to everyday

materials, things just sitting around
the house. For me, home just
means being yourself. You dont
have to go outside to know more;
you already have everything you
need.

Andy Goldsworthy

A stone is ingrained with

geological and historical
memories.

Robert Smithson

I am for an art that takes

into account the direct
effect of the elements as
they exist from day to day
apart from representation.

Richard Long

The landscape
became the location for
my work, and the
walking itself became
the medium.

Marcie Miller Gross

Through an incremental means of building

with utilitarian materials, I make objects that
explore repetition, mass and void, physicality
and weight, compression and release.
Within these qualities, I find parallels in the
physical and psychological states of the
body, sensory knowledge, and the human
condition.

Materials Studies 9-Patch Sampler

group of blocks in various
patterns with frequently no
pattern repeated, the size of
the blocks may be different.

Album Quilt

different blocks that usually
have some meaning
attached to them; often
made by multiple quilters.
